About this map

Eastman serves as the central hub of this Dodge County landscape, characterized by the corridor of the Southern railroad and a network of rural churches and family cemeteries. The town's layout shows a transition from the traditional grid near the Southern tracks to expanding residential blocks and civic sites like the Hospital and County High Sch. This 1970s survey, photorevised in the mid-1980s, captures the local infrastructure before modern expansion, including the Eastman-Dodge County Airport and the Radio Tower (WUFF).

Rural life outside the city limits is anchored by landmarks such as Dempsey Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and the small settlement of Godwinsville to the southeast. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Gum Swamp and Sugar Creek, while industrial activity is noted at the Claypit near the railroad line. Numerous burial sites, including Lockett Cem and Orphans Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family histories in the region.
